Today, the students and the instructor examined the Gilded Age (1870-1900) during the teacher lecture and guided discussion. Through the examination, the students were exposed to the positive and negative elements of the period and its impacts on America's development (post-Reconstruction). In today's discussion, the students examined closely: America's change in Ostentatious Wealth, Corruption Scandals of Boss Tweed and Presidents Grant and Garfield and the changes imposed by Chester A. Arthur to fix political graft.
Tonight's Homework: Remember to bring your textbook and questions for tomorrow's Peer-to-Peer Review session. In addition, finish your Chapter Reading in American Pageant (23-26) and continue working on your AP Chapter Questions for Unit 8.
About Me
- Mr. Gull
- Before I became a high school history teacher, I spent 14 years in the corporate world where I specialized in Healthcare Administration. In addition, I spent 3 1/2 years participating in professional sports (Satellite Professional Tennis Tour and Professional Golf Mini-Tours). In 2005, I found I really loved working in the classroom, so I returned to graduate school to earn my Masters degree in Education. I CAN'T IMAGINE DOING ANYTHING ELSE...I LOVE WORKING WITH MY STUDENTS!
